access_fandomSorry about the multiple posts, I just had a breakthrough in my understanding of dreamwidth! (yay)
I have been sitting on some stuff for a while.
This summer I got a chance to go to the LEAD conference,(Leadership Exchange in Art and Disability), http://www.kennedy-center.org/accessibility/education/lead/conference.html, sponsored by the Kennedy Center for arts and cultural organizations, and I presented a poster for their poster session on access at Science Fiction Conventions. in order to offer etext, I made a website to go with the poster, and I thought it might be good to share it here.

Date: 2012-10-22 10:45 pm (UTC)I love adding "this is how you participate" to the moderator introduction; it's important for every first time member. In fact, that's part of my platform for universal design. First time members often have the same needs as people with disabilities.
I'm tickled about the hands-on tour of the masquerade. This one is ripe for universal design, since almost every cosplayer is eager to get their hands on everybody's costume.
The visuals are a HOOT! If they're shareable, I'd love to see them here.

Most of the set is here and if people want to use them at other coventions, he is amenable if people ask and properly attribute the work, and can supply higher res versions:

I also have a cute "working dog is working" poster, and a new one for this year- a Steampunk Borg creature (for our Assititve Listening Devices signage)
As for the moderator training, it helps more than new members. There is no one panel format and I like to know what I am getting into as an audience member, and whether I'll get to weigh in or not.
